Default Enchant Silver has the wrong mana cost

The level 8 enchanter spell "Enchant: Silver" is listed as costing 60 mana on the p99 wiki and 60 mana on allakhazam, but it costs 80 mana on Green. This seems like more than a display bug based on the amount of times I can cast it before my mana bar is empty. Calculating out my mana bar based on my int and +mana, I should have 512, which would let me do roughly 6 casts of Enchant: Silver from full mana if it cost 80 mana. This is what happens. If it costed 60 mana and it was just a display bug for the tooltip, I would be able to cast it roughly 8 times, which isn't the case.

Edit: I just realized this is the Velious beta subforum, argh.

Edit2: In case this doesn't get deleted in a timely fashion, I think I may have stumbled upon an explanation: the February 17, 2000 patch had some unlisted changes in it including reducing the mana cost of enchanting metal spells. This is likely the source of the discrepancy.
